Zes putti met een banderol 1684 - 1753

This drawing by Dutch artist Jan de Lairesse, titled *Zes putti met een banderol*, depicts a scene of six cherubs, also known as putti, holding a banner. The cherubs appear to be holding up the banner, with one cherub playing a tambourine. It is likely that the inscription on the banner, "van der Syren," was a commission for a specific patron. De Lairesse was a well-known painter and draftsman in the Netherlands. This drawing is a great example of De Lairesse's style and his mastery of drawing human figures.
